Before you get on it. And there are some steps that you can access to get closer to the water. Crissy field
Depending on the weather, you can make decent pictures from both "sides" of the bridge (west & east)!
You can see the guideboard for the best point.
You can take some from nearby the welcome center as well as Battery Spencer on the other side of the bridge if you are willing to hike across.... It is really an impressive view from the battery
Am telling this based on my personal experience. If you want closer pic and scenic view of bridge try battery Spencer which is couple of miles away. But from here you can have a distant view of bridge and couple of pics with golden gate background.
Thanks everyone!!
